To enter the garage, turn off Campus Drive onto Union Lane (between the Adele H. Stamp Student Union and Cole Student Activities Building). Please note that you may not enter from Fieldhouse Drive, which is an exit only. Please see the map below.

For more information about parking, please call the Ticket Office, which is open Mondays through Saturdays, from 11AM to 5PM.

Driving

Public Transportation

Taxi: The most reliable method of getting from Metro to the Center is by taxi. There is a taxi stand at the Metro Station (see Google map below) and after the performance you can ask a House Manager to call a taxi to take you back to Metro.

UM Bus 104: The University also operates a shuttle bus (UM 104) between the Metro and Stamp Student Union, which is a half-mile walk from the Center (see Google map below); however, shuttle service is available only when the university is in session. Unless you are familiar with the university's schedule and the shuttle route, this is not the recommended method.

Please call our ticket office at 301.405.ARTS if you need further assistance.
